I like all those actors. Agreed on Paula Prentiss...she's really fun in the Howard Hawks comedy MAN'S FAVORITE SPORT. Love these 60s goofy comedies. The Italian setting doesn't hurt either. Looks like Warner Archives is going to see more of my money soon...<br /><br />Jeff Flugel<br />thestalkingmoon.weebly.comJeff Flugelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06127134815672151999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-52552102206584612222012-05-23T20:52:36.006-04:002012-05-23T20:52:36.006-04:00Hi Raquelle,
Enjoyed your review! I think I enjo...Hi Raquelle,<br /><br />Enjoyed your review! I think I enjoyed it more than you did, although you're right, it's really not all that hot of a plot (grin). I remember thinking it was silly, but I had a good time anyway -- Steve McQueen was so adorable! LOL. And the person who really made it for me was Paula Prentiss. She was such an elegant klutz. There's something about her personality which is very engaging. Glad you got to check it out, enjoyed your impressions and you do such nice screen captures too. :)<br /><br />Looking forward to your next Warner Archive Wednesday!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09626109831176745957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-48259269830889621812012-05-23T15:17:04.003-04:002012-05-23T15:17:04.003-04:00Hey Paulie - Yeah it's a tough gig. I started ...Hey Paulie - Yeah it's a tough gig. I started watching it a second time and it was a bit better but you are right about it dating badly and being dead in the water. It could have worked if they had focused on the characters and plot more so than on the whackiness and kookiness! Anyways, thanks for stopping by!Raquel Stecherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687110907002450794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-48820623357427387362012-05-23T09:59:20.041-04:002012-05-23T09:59:20.041-04:00much as i love Steve McQueen, he cant save that fi...much as i love Steve McQueen, he cant save that film for me. yes its amusing at times but seems to go nowhere, sort of dead in the water and dates badly. i agree with you McQueen was very adept at humor but in this film it seems forced. he does give the film some energy tho, which it certainly needed. how sad that cancer took all those talented people so young :(Artman2112https://www.blogger.com/profile/03062864368596074661noreply@blogger.com
